As part of the nationwide Covenant House organization, the largest privately funded childcare agency in the U.S., Covenant House Alaska is guided by the following five principles:

 

Immediacy

In crisis, needing food, clothing, medical attention and shelter, the kids who come to Covenant House are welcome day or night, without question or cost.

Sanctuary

We offer the opportunity for growth by providing protection from unsafe situations and street life. This enables youth to move forward toward positive goals, beyond the pain of their past.

Values Communication

The values of the streets are destructive. Through communication of positive values, we nourish belief in their potential for a better future.

Structure

Stability is essential to the growth of our kids. We offer guidelines and plans with which to build a better future.

Choice

We encourage kids to make serious choices about their future. We communicate that choice involves responsibility as well as rights.
